YES! Red half-rim glasses FTW!
This show keeps getting stranger and stranger, which is really saying something considering how strange it was to start with. We're really delving the fetishes now.
Erina, Tail Yellow, turns out to be a very repressed, and bizarre, person. She's revealed as being a masochist in this episode, for instance and she wants Souji to hit her. Which, naturally, he refuses to really do. She's started calling him goushujin-sama.
Her costume gives her big breasts (which she ordinarily doesn't have) and it makes her exhibitionistic, yet another fetish. At the rate they're using them up, they're going to run out of fetishes, I tell you. (This time we also got a school swimsuit fetish, a braid fetish and a lip fetish.)
Dark Grasper, our penultimate Big Boss, seems to have been a fangirl of Toaru on her home world, and her suit, Glasses Gear, was created so that she could stand beside Tail Red (Toaru). She doesn't realize that the current Tail Red isn't the original, so their conversation was surreal. ("What happened to your big, beautiful breasts?")
But if glasses are not the ultimate fetish to challenge the twintail fetish, what might be? The only thing I can come up with is Catgirls! We'll have to defeat Dark Grasper first, before the ultimate Big Boss shows up, I imagine so it'll be a few episodes.
UPDATE: If it isn't catgirls, then it's got to be blue-striped panties.

I dunno. Asking for consistency from a show like this is insane.

Still, this series is hilarious. I actually fell out of my chair laughing at the Ero Hon part. I was already on the verge of breaking before we got there, but that just pushed it over the top. It was nice.

It isn't a translation; the show is using the English words "Dark Grasper" for her name. (Also, she isn't the ultimate big bad; she's one step down from there.)

Sadly, I don't think that's possible.
On the other hand, it is possible to run out of fetishes that any semi-sane person would want to see. (Runs off to find the mental bleach...)

It's kind of a correlary of Rule 34: "There is porn of it. No exceptions".
Rule 34 bis: "It's someone's fetish. No exceptions."

That one's "Defeat means Friendship". Nanoha is the classic example of that, and I saw a cartoon one time of all the people who she had "befriended", which ended with Vivio crowing about being befriended the most, "5 simultaneous Starlight Breakers!"
But that's far from the only case. In the recent past I can think of Hyuga in Arpeggio of Blue Steel, who fell in love with Iona just after Iona torpedoed Hyuga.
